Review
Many people dream about becoming writers but just don't know where to begin. How can they unlock the creative spirit they are sure lies within them? Schneider and Killick have written this book to help us fulfil our creative ambitions. Starting right at the very beginning, they encourage us to write from our own personal experience, putting our emotions down on paper. Using a wide selection of techniques and exercises, they enable us to explore ourselves and to understand the many influences, inner and outer, which shape us and our views of the world. They also show how to turn this valuable raw material into finished pieces of writing and further examine the possibilities of keeping journals and writing autobiography. Personal writing is a vital form of self-expression, and there can be no doubt that this book will enable the would-be writer to release the flow of words. (Kirkus UK)
